For those who didn’t have to look up GALBA, we salute you! 🫡

When a crossword makes you think it’s later in the week than it actually is.

Personal best Wednesday which obviously means this puzzle is nothing short of brilliant.

Wow! What a debut. The SESAME clue blew my mind. Really impressive stuff.

Great juicy Sunday! And a rebus, but a clever one. Rebus for rebus sake is tiring, but this one was really engaging!

Once I got over the fact that I had to look up more than a few of the trivia clues, I had a blast!

Cute, quick Monday. And that song will be definitely be stuck in my head all day!

Having never read or written the word “zhuzh”, it took a couple stabs to get the spelling correct. But overall a pretty fun/quick solve.

Fun theme Thurs! Took about 5 extra minutes to solve NE corner because I had so confidently typed in SAn for 23A. *facepalm*

Tough one! Pretty fun, HIRT/REOS cross aside.

Fun theme but AMSCRAY can etgay ostlay.

One of those rare Thursdays where I enjoyed the theme much more than the regular clues. When I figured out ZORK from the crosses, it immediately made me think of the old Simpsons bit about Bort license plates.

Loved it. Put it on the puzzle of the year shortlist.

No self-respecting United fan calls them MANU.

I guess I’m late to the PAN IN pile on, but consider me equally furious! :-)

DOH! Just missed my PB because of 60 down. Was sure I was looking for a plural noun, not an abbreviated singular one.

Am I LOCO or was this really easy for a Wednesday?

Nice to have a Thursday PR after that rough Wednesday workout! Fun little theme too.
